I kinda want to know where Vigil's "Crawler" project went.

Considering you fight War at the end of it I cant imagine being bored then
It's like "here's how to do all the mobility in a few minutes. Got it? ZOOM, off to fight War's ghost. Now, let's go fight giant monsters."
The only bit of that game I don't like--went back through it to finish getting all the gems for that quest for those playfire rewards--is the Dead section of the game, mostly because of the soulsplitter puzzles. I don't really like the soulsplitter at all. The portals outside the Ivory Tower thing are a bit frustrating as well. Beyond that, though, which is like the other 80% of the game, I had a blast. Going back through it was fun, especially just the pure combat of the Soul Arbiter's maze.
If they released, like, Darksiders: Action Arena Mayhem for $5, I'd buy the crap out of it. Or Darksiders: Orcs Must Die Edition. Hnnng.

My Wishlist:
-Keep Darksiders 2 combat and improve on it even more.
-Tighten the world up a bit more like Darksiders 1 (Big, deep Zelda dungeons).
-Don't have a lame fetch quest at the end of the game to pad it out like DS1.
-Keep some of the side stuff from DS2 (secret/optional dungeons).
-Don't include a long, tedious gun level like both DS1+2 had.
-Maybe add some Diablo-style co-op if they make it a sequel and make all 4 horsemen playable and unique (ranged for Strife, aoe/magic for Death, tank for War, and monk/berserker for fury)

I'd be down for a third one if they get back to DS1 progression and drop the loot collection. Upgrade the combat some more, add more traversal skills, drop the fetch quest narrative, more big vistas and puzzles.............baby, you got a stew going.
Im one of the few i guess that love both games mainly for the art. Joe Madureira is my favorite artist... and the whole series drips with his style.
If DS3 is exactly the same as DS2 but with Strife/Fury with Madureira's art direction... i will love it.
That said... i STILL want to see Dragonkind... or a Battle Chasers game.
Dragonkind looked cool

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I own Darksiders 1, 2 and Kingdoms of Amular.
I never finished either, but liked a lot in each.
Though if we could only resurrect one... Which would we rather have a sequel to? Hmmmm

I'd rather they gave us a long, awesome gun level.

DS2 is excellent but there was too much padding at the halfway point. They could've shrunk Kingdom of the Dead and shook up the Earth stage and the game would benefit from it. I thought the gameplay, music and atmosphere was spot on though. Ending still sucks, but it was never really Darksiders 2. More like Darksiders: Death.
Unrelated answer: Oh yes!
Wow, I had never heard of Dragonkind I think, will have to read up on that. The gauntlet however looks very familiar
Amazing sound track. The graphics were fine with me. And art is always great. But all the fetching quickly became a chore, it was too repetitive go here go here go here go here go here.
Please don't be dropping names to keep the franchise relevant. Hopefully something is actually happening. There is the collection being released, and maybe E3 will tease something.

I'll remain cautiously optimistic. Vigil had something special in my opinion and I'm not sure it will be easy to recreate. Here's hoping.
I really wanted DS3 to be Strife with some serious Gunkata combat action in the vein of Equilibrium. Still don't get the hate for DS2. Flawed yes, but great nontheless.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I hope Strife is the protagonist.
Fury is alright, too:
But Strife's design is so cool. I do wonder what happened to him and why War and Death were able to obtain his guns.

Both of them were briefly featured in the book "Abomination Vault". Not a bad book, especially for people who are invested in the world/characters.
Yeah but Strife's a douche in the novel.

this needs to be a thing, they also need to explain how he lost his guns
Darksiders is not Dead.

Former team members!? Not settling for second-best solution?
Don't crush my dreams, Nordic, don't crush them. Because HNNNNGGGGG.
EDIT: I guess the thread title could be changed to Nordic and Joe Mad: Darksiders is not dead.

Great, give us fury, then strife in their solo games, and let the fifth game have all four of them for an epic conclusion.

I only started playing these recently because of the playfire rewards. I think I was put off by all the bad impressions I read here but it turns out I really enjoyed them. Even bought the OST during the recent steam sale. I'd be very happy for the series to continue.

Would be at the top of the list. Platinum would kill it with no problems. The world is already set up pretty nicely for them, probably right up their alley as a starting point.
